FireRed-Image-Edit is a general-purpose image editing model that delivers high-fidelity and consistent editing across a wide range of scenarios.
- Strong Editing Performance: FireRed-Image-Edit delivers leading open-source results with accurate instruction following, high image quality, and consistent visual coherence.
- Native Editing Capability from T2I Backbone: Built upon an open-source text-to-image foundation model , we introduce editing ability through a full pipeline of Pretrain, SFT, and RL. This training paradigm is backbone-agnostic and can be applied to other T2I models(currently based on Qwen-Image for better community support). We will progressively open-source additional features, including self-developed FireRed T2I foundation model later.
- Text Style Preservation: Maintains text styles with high fidelity, achieving performance comparable to closed-source solutions.
- Photo Restoration: High-quality old photo restoration and enhancement.
- Multi-Image Editing: Flexible editing of multiple images such as virtual try-on.
- 2026.02.14: We released FireRed-Image-Edit-1.0 model weights. Check more details on Huggingface and ModelScope.
- 2026.02.10: We released the Technical Report of FireRed-Image-Edit-1.0.
FireRed-Image-Edit establishes a new state-of-the-art among open-source models on Imgedit, Gedit, and RedEdit, while surpassing our closed-source competitors in specific dimensions—a distinction further corroborated by human evaluations highlighting its superior prompt following and visual consistency.

To better validate the capabilities of our model, we propose a benchmark called REDEdit-Bench. Our main goal is to build more diverse scenarios and editing instructions that better align with human language, enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of current editing models. We collected over 3,000 images from the internet, and after careful expert-designed selection, we constructed 1,673 bilingual (Chinese–English) editing pairs across 15 categories.
We provide the inference and evaluation code for REDEdit-Bench. Please refer to the redbench_infer.py and redbench_eval.py scripts in the tools directory for more details.
The REDEdit-Bench dataset will be available soon.
